Hmmm... thanx for the tip, Alan. I haven't really paid that much time to
the time in linux since I started running it since I thought it based it
all on the hardware clock, not software (which I'm now assuming it does).
I'll have to observe the other machine and see what kind of time loss ther
is with Mandrake 6.0.
